The trial of notorious killer-cop Derek Chauvin

"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Body cam footage shows killer cops murdering a man having a panic attack, in broad daylight, as per their training (according to their attorney).
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I know it's the prosecution who go first but still, the police seem to be hanging Chauvin out to dry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56642582
Not much sign of a thin blue line so far.

Has to be guilty surely?
No. And being America there will be riots either way.

If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
Guilty.
Cops would've lost their shit either way, but the mfer has now been found guilty. Hope it sticks.

Though the Judge has already said that one moronic dipshit Democrat Congresswoman has given him grounds to appeal. Stupid twunt.
Hopefully the appeal fails if it is lodged, but should never have given him any grounds to have one.
The appeals will be along the lines of tainted jury pool - note, those appeals even if successful will not mean Chauvin goes free, it would just mean there would have to be another trial. Maxine Waters and the retards who threw a pig's head at the *former residence* of a defense witness are beyond stupid.
I don't understand how someone can be convicted of both second and third degree murder of the same individual (that would be second degree murder and manslaughter in most states). How can you be guilty of second degree murder and not be guilty of third degree murder (manslaughter)? Second degree murder is third degree murder with the added distinction that it was committed with reckless disregard for human life.

Basically its a way to get charges to stick. That way if an appellate court says the 2nd degree murder wasn't appropriate for some reason or another the lesser charges still stand.
The appellate court can strike just the "with reckless disregard for human life" portion which would leave manslaughter in place.

Depending on the exact state of law (jurisprudence as well as coded) doing so with a "lesser included" might require declaring a mistrial and that it be retried.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
So finally systemic racism is over. It was one man's fault. Not a system that was racist. The veredict says it. No more need to protest.
Freedom - When people learn to embrace criticism about politicians, since politicians are just employees like you and me.
The "one bad apple" is exactly how those moronic conservative talking heads are spinning this and I can't tell if you're mocking them or agreeing with them.
